Cali Spec 99 Maxima Question(s)
I have a 99 SE-L Cali spec, and currently I'm throwing a swirl valve code because the previous owner of the car installed a MEVI. My question is, is it possible to keep the MEVI and/or install an 00VI without throwing a code? I remember the previous owner saying that all I would have to do is find a cali spec LIM? Idk if there's any truth to this.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

Do you still have the swirl valves on your car? There is no need to remove them and they dont get in the way of the MEVI. What exactly did the previous owner do? I bet he used the solenoid and vacuum can to power the vi. No? I suppose if he was in the engine that far and wanted to swap the LIM for a Fed spec he may have. I still think you can fool the ecu with out the valves in place.
The Cali DEK has swirl valves so you could swap both the upper and lower and hook the swirl valves back up.

Its been awhile since I have worked on a 99 cali so dont hold me to it if it doesnt work.
Its a vacuum operated system with a solenoid. I would think if the solenoid is hooked up and functioning, the ecu would never know if the valves were actually moving.
When installing an MEVI you can steal the vacuum setup and solenoid from the swirl valves to run the VI. That may have been done too.
Got a pic of your engine?
